This matter is addressed in Suárez's "Summa Seu Compendium", wherein he explains the Scotist position, and then provides a refutation of it.

INVESTIGATE: A Q post from February 19, 2019, spotlights former President Obama as a corrupt actor who engaged in Iran "deal" as part of a longstanding kickback scheme. President Trump alluded to this in his address to the Nation last night. /1 🧵

The Ukraine war, a sinkhole of “foreign aid,” was highly opaque, and many suspect it followed a similar pattern. Recall that Republican President George W. Bush started the Iraq War based on false intelligence; Q says the Iran deal followed the same financial fraud pattern. /2

Q points out the assassination attempt on Reagan and the assassination of JFK, both of whom reportedly did not want to go along with this type of activity. /3

"'American values' are whatever my political faction currently wants, therefore all of my domestic opponents are not really Americans" - the libs.

https://twitter.com/conor64/status/2039568815185682525

The tell here is that these people love to blather about American Values, but can never define them except in the vaguest terms possible, probably because actual American values change constantly and hence can't be used to define either the state or the nation. Example:

It is obviously true that immigration restrictionism, which has been a sentiment in America since before the Revolution, does not contravene any essence of what it means to be American.

“Even though one may have some wisdom and the manifestation of samadhi, one is certain to enter demonic paths if one does not cut off lust. At best, one will be a demon king; on the average, one will be in the retinue of demons; at the lowest level, one will be a succubus.

These demons have their groups of disciples. Each says of himself that he has accomplished the Unsurpassed Way.

After my nirvāna, in the Dharma-ending Age, these hordes of demons will abound, spreading like wildfire as they openly practice greed and lust. Claiming to be good knowing advisors, they will cause living beings to fall into the pit and lose the way to liberation.

🚨BREAKING: Claude can now help you build your one-person business like Dan Koe's $5M solo operation (for free).

Here are 5 Claude prompts that replace your business coach, content strategist, and offer architect.

(Save for later)

1/ FIND YOUR ONE PERSON BUSINESS IDEA

Prompt:

Act as a one-person business strategist who applies Dan Koe's philosophy of monetizing a single skill, interest, and personality into a scalable solo operation.

Identify my most profitable one-person business idea based on what I know, what I enjoy, and what the market will pay for — without hiring a single person.


1. Ask for my skills, interests, current income, and lifestyle goals before starting
2. Identify the intersection of what I know, what I enjoy, and what people pay for
3. Generate 3 one-person business models that scale without employees
4. Validate each model — is someone already paying for this outcome
5. Select the strongest model and write a one-sentence business positioning statement



- Business model must be operated by one person — no team required
- Every idea must have a clear monetization path within 90 days
- Positioning statement must name the customer, the outcome, and the mechanism
- Weakest ideas flagged honestly — not every idea deserves a business

Skill Intersection → 3 Business Models → Validation Check → Strongest Model → Positioning Statement

2/ BUILD YOUR ONE PERSON OFFER

Prompt:

Act as an offer architect who builds irresistible one-person business offers using Dan Koe's principle of selling outcomes and transformations — never time or deliverables.

Design a complete one-person business offer that sells a specific transformation, commands premium pricing, and requires only my knowledge to deliver.


1. Ask for my skill set, target customer, and desired income before starting
2. Define the transformation — the specific before and after my customer experiences
3. Build the offer structure — what's included, how it's delivered, and why it's worth the price
4. Set premium pricing anchored to outcome value — never to hours spent
5. Write a one-paragraph offer description that makes buying feel obvious



- Offer must sell a transformation — never a service or deliverable
- Price anchored to outcome value — never to time or content volume
- Delivery method must require only one person to fulfill
- Offer description must make the customer feel understood in the first sentence

Transformation Definition → Offer Structure → Premium Price → Delivery Method → One-Paragraph Offer Description

OK - in Epstein victims case against Bank of America, now settlement fairness hearing on $72.5 (or $85) million deal here @SDNYLIVE Inner City Press is covering the cases patreon.com/posts/epstein-… & OCC innercitypress.com/epsteinfiles5b… and will live tweet, thread below

All rise!
David Boies, Sigrid McCawley, Brad Edwards - and Charlotte Taylor and more for Bank of America.
Judge Rakoff: My first question is, Who are you going to send the notice to and how are you going to determine that?
Boies: The people we have identified

Boies: Over time the list of survivors of the sex trafficking venture has grown. We would propose also some kind of publication notice.
Judge Rakoff: Members of the class will not know they have to file a claim or to opt out. Where would you publish notice?

1/🚨The U.S. government just signed a federal court order admitting it ran a secret censorship operation against its own citizens.

Most people think that's the end of the story.

It isn't. It's the beginning.

A thread every American needs to read.🧵👇

2/ What the decree actually says...

The Missouri v. Biden Consent Decree is real and significant.

It permanently prohibits the Surgeon General, CDC, and CISA from pressuring social media platforms to suppress protected American speech.

The government signed it. A federal judge enforces it.

But read the fine print.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…

3/ The decree covers 3 agencies. 5 platforms. Named plaintiffs only.

It says NOTHING about:

🔴 Foreign NGOs publishing fraudulent hit lists
🔴 Dark money funding those NGOs
🔴 Government officials amplifying their reports
🔴 Cross-border legal proceedings targeting American citizens for writing articles

The machine is still running.

Apple turns 50 this week. To mark it, I'm sharing never-before-published material from my forthcoming book, Steve Jobs in Exile.

The material: an internal strategy document from Chiat/Day, the ad agency behind Apple's most famous campaigns, dated November 1983. I found it in the Stanford Apple Archive.

With Steve Jobs's backing, the agency was planning what would become the most iconic tech advertisement ever made: 1984.

Much gratitude to the archivists at Stanford for preserving it.

When I was researching Steve Jobs in Exile, this material shaped my grasp of Steve's vision and his team's brilliance.

They took existential commercial pressure and turned it into art that looked, to everyone else, like destiny. The Chiat/Day document shows you how they did it.

Most retellings about the "1984" ad miss the backdrop. The campaign wasn't mere creative inspiration. It was born out of a strategic crisis.

Apple was being outspent by four major competitors, and its main competitor, IBM, had captured nearly half the market for business computers.

Chiat/Day's focus groups showed Apple fighting an uphill battle. Buyers were postponing computer purchases, waiting for an industry shakeout that would reduce prices, and gravitating toward safe names.

You have to remember that IBM was the safe name, and Apple was still a relative newcomer.

🚨 The 48 Laws of Power has sold 5.5 million copies, spent 230 weeks on Amazon's bestseller list, and is banned in US prisons across 18 states.

The reason it's banned? "Manipulation techniques."

I turned all 48 laws into 12 Claude prompts.

You describe any social, corporate, or political situation and it tells you which law you're violating and the exact counter-move.

Here are all 12:

Prompt 1: The Power Law Violation Detector

Most people break the 48 Laws daily without knowing it. And they wonder why they're stuck.

This prompt scans any situation and tells you exactly which laws you're violating:

"I'm going to describe a situation at work, in business, or in my personal life. I need you to analyze it through Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power framework:

1. Which SPECIFIC laws am I currently VIOLATING in this situation? (Quote the exact law number and name.)
2. What are the consequences of each violation — what's it costing me right now?
3. Which laws is the OTHER person (my boss, competitor, opponent) using against me, whether they know it or not?
4. What is the COUNTER-MOVE for each violation? The specific action I should take based on the correct law.
5. Which single law, if I applied it immediately, would have the biggest impact on this situation?

Be specific. Reference the actual laws by number and name. No generic advice.

My situation: [DESCRIBE YOUR SITUATION IN DETAIL — WHO IS INVOLVED, WHAT'S HAPPENING, AND WHAT OUTCOME YOU WANT]"

Prompt 2: The "Never Outshine the Master" Corporate Survival Guide (Law 1)

Law 1: Never Outshine the Master.

This is the #1 law people break at work. You impress the wrong person, threaten someone above you, and suddenly your career stalls and you have no idea why.

This prompt navigates the most dangerous dynamic at any company — your relationship with your boss:

"I work as [INSERT ROLE] and my boss is [DESCRIBE YOUR BOSS'S PERSONALITY AND MANAGEMENT STYLE].

Using Robert Greene's Law 1 (Never Outshine the Master) and related power dynamics:

1. Am I accidentally threatening my boss's ego, status, or authority without realizing it? (Analyze specific behaviors I might not see.)
2. How do I present my ideas, wins, and accomplishments in a way that makes MY BOSS look good instead of threatened?
3. What is the exact line between being impressive (gets promoted) and being threatening (gets sabotaged)?
4. If my boss is already threatened by me, what are the specific signs I should look for?
5. What is the strategic play: make my boss a hero, find a new boss, or use this dynamic to my advantage?

Give me specific language and behaviors, not vague advice."
